UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of captGD11526 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU result in a significantly increased frequency of axon migration abnormalities in the brain of third instar larvae compared to controls leading to defects in the lamina plexus as well as decreased rhabdomere length in the adult eye.
Adults expressing captGD11526 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
